Research direction

Start by reproducing cosa build for RHCOS 4.10 and inspect the output around rpmdb regeneration and the reported regex versions. Determine whether the mismatch is harmless or indicates an incorrect build dependency; done means the cause and expected behavior are established, with a fix or clear documentation of the result.
